"Correctness isn't a moral issue but a social and political one, often a definition of social class. Correct usage is defined by a group of those who speak and write English a certain way, and used as a test or shibboleth to form an in-group of those who speak and write punctuation and grammar English that way and an out-group of those who don’t."

From "Steering the Craft", Ursula K. Le Guin
